Lead Engineer - Reactor System Modeling (Remote Eligible, U.S.)

GE Vernova is a company focused on modern digital engineering tools and techniques. They are seeking a Lead Engineer - Reactor System Modeling to own reactor thermal-hydraulic and neutronics models, ensuring integration with plant models and performing analysis for lean design work.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain simulator models, which includes:
• Modifying the Safety Analysis TRACG basedeck (and related files) to connect with the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment (IPDE)
• Performing standalone TRACG analysis and custom methods testing for lean design work
• Performing sensitivity studies with TRACG in the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment
• Simplifying and optimizing models for use in Full Scope Simulator training, which requires a focus on real-time execution, repeatability, and accuracy
• Ownership, development, configuration, testing, and maintenance of basedeck and Graphical Engineering Station (GES) model interfaces (including models and methods code base) between TRACG and all other executable code under the main IPDE executive
• Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary
• Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment
• Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4-year technical degree
• Minimum 6 years of experience in an engineering role
• Minimum 4 years of experience with thermal-hydraulic system codes (preferably TRACG)
• This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to U.S. export-controlled technology
• GE Vernova will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening
• Master of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
• Experience creating and modifying input models (“basedecks”) in thermal-hydraulic system codes (e.g., nuclear power plant models, test facility models, etc.)
• Knowledge of common computer languages (C#, C++, etc.) and software development tools (Version control, IDE's, Debuggers, etc.)
• Experience in software development
• Design and analysis simulation [e.g.; 3KeyMaster/WSC]
• Experience developing high fidelity engineering simulator or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation
